Vince Gill's Thoughts On Life | Southern Living

If you meet Vince Gill, he'll tell you that he's normal – "painfully normal," to be specific. But, there's nothing average about this storytelling, multiple-Grammy-Award-winning country musician.

In 1966, Southern Living was created to highlight the beauty and culture of the growing South. In the decades since its inception, Southern Living, published monthly, has become one of the largest lifestyle magazines in the country. With characteristic Southern hospitality, Southern Living is committed to sharing the region we love with our readers, no matter where they may live.

I ran into Vince Gill at Rudy's Guitars in NYC last fall. I was nervous to talk to him, but I decided I would. I went up to him and told him I loved his guitar playing. He shook my hand, asked my name, and then folded his arms, as if he was settling in for a long conversation. We chatted about other guitarists we like. He did not have to do that. I'm sure it's a conscious decision on his part to treat people who come up to him with respect. Taught me a good lesson to always give people your time, courtesy and respect.
